    Colleen, I too love to travel the world, but there is something special about Mexico, especially Baja. This winter I and two friends are riding the entire length of it by mule. Very few people have met Los Californios on their own turf. If you find you have a little bit of time after all, we could find a mule for you for a few days. 🙂

    Hey Colleen, I’m beginning to understand what you mean. We’ve been in the Baja for about a week right now and after 10 days of solid driving from Seattle we are finally settled in at La Paz and are in love. The whole drive down the Baja has been amazing…such beautiful diversity in scenery and in the various towns! We’ve been through desert and mountains and lush tropical oasis of palm trees, have stayed in simple little motels, quaint B&B’s and camped on the beach under a palapa and have eaten pounds of tacos, fresh fish and coconuts. And we’re only two weeks in! Can’t wait to see what the rest of Mexico holds for us. I’m not yet a writer on your level but if you’re interested in following my trail let me know and I’ll send you the link to my travel diary.

    I hear you, Colleen! I’m finding I want to revisit favorite places, too, see them in different seasons, enjoy changes, see how they’re getting on, rather than maintain a ‘travel as competitive sport’ numbers chart of countries and continents I’ve touched down on. Mexico is so vast and so alluring, so dense in layers of history, it would take many lifetimes to experience it all. I don’t think it’s possible to ever be ‘done’ with Mexico.

    I too was recently thinking of our travels to Patzcuaro…what an amazing place to experience ( the taxi full of earwigs was wild!). You’re welcome to join me in Oaxaca City for Day of the Dead or visit Iggy at the condo. There are still a few weeks open in Dec. when the fishermen take the Virgin from the Cathedral in a boat procession for the Blessing of the Fishes – a rare event. As Anita Brenner wrote in the 1920s “Once the dust of Mexico settles on your heart …”
